As partial lscompensation,i in the midst
of his many discouragenents, the sight
.ess pupil possesses one vital advan t;t::se 6
over. his companions. His memory, ,t:-
leustomed to seize and assimilate detini-
lions and miscellaneous information at
a single hearing, acquires both a mar
velous alertness and a phenomenal re-
|tentive capacity which enable him to
master certain branches ct study with
singular ease. and rapidity. Deprived
Of books and without any very ready
and reliable method Of making notes,
he obtains habit, often envied by the
seeing, Of appropriating instantaneous
I ly any thing addressed to his intellect
through his hearing. Hence the pro-
verbally good memory Of the blind
person. His mind is his memorandum
book. always at hand and always open.
+ To the present writer, who never re-
members having a lesson in any thing
read over to him more than twice, noth-
ing is more strange and more amusing
than room full Of school children, with
fingers crammed in their ears, buzzing
over a lesson Of three pages for the
fifteenth time. Equally inco1nprehen-
sible is it to see :, man making q note
Of a single address, or lady referring
to q shopping~list. Such observations
force one to the conclusion that the art
Of writing, invaluable us it is, has be n
disastrous to the human memory. Peo~
pie have grown TO so rely on piece of
white paper covered with black
scratches, that ii this be lost or mis-
placed, they nre reduced almost to the

| So marked is The advantage of the
Blind in this respect as almost to atone
FOR their extra difficulties in others;
that is, the sightless pupil will acquire
scientific and philosophical studies with
3 rapiaity which will counterbalance
the greater amount of time demanded
by his less facile methods Of writing
out exercises in linguistic and cipher
ing in mathematical branches; SO that
in taking the regular course atacademy
~ university, lie will require, all in all,
neither more time nor more labor than
the average student
OF not less value. in after life is this
extraordinarily trained and developed
memory, 1t enables the blind to de-
rive from lectures, conversation and
general reading ten times the benefit OF
others, on whose minds q single men,
tion Of facts and thoughts makes little
,r no impression.
Thus the law Of compensation is seem

(pne of She Most Interesting Incidents OF
Grants Great Western Trip.
The Wal had been over about two
years when General Grant made his
famous trip to the West. The only
railroad reaching Denver at that time
from the East was the Union Pacific,
and such q thing as transportation by
rail through the mountainous regions
was unknown When Grant was in:
Colorado he expressed desire to see
as much of the country as possible.
The grandeur of the mountain scenery
seemed to fascinate him. He was
taken to the top Of Pixies Peak, only a
short distance from Denver, and was
SO much pleased with the trip that he
expressed a willingness to take II lon-
ger one. Central City, the county-ssat
Of Gilpin, was then the leading mining
town Of the State. 1t was distant
eighty miles from Denver, and every
mile of the road was through canyons
and over mountains. Grant would go.
The only means of transit was by stage,
ard the General was furnished with a
special cohch, his friends following in
another. Relays Of horses were pro-
vided at the end of every ten miles, but
then the trip was tedious, and before it
was half finished the General complain
ed OF the slow progress. At the top Of
a mountain the driver, being little
vexed, asked the General If he was real
ly anxious for faster time over that kind
Of a road. Grant said he would like to
get to Central some time. The driver
said he would '.let 'em 60, and giving
the lines a twist around the brake he
braced himself with nothing in his hands
but the whip. The coach went swing:
ing and surging down the mountain
faster than it was ever taken by four
horses before Grants companions fol-
lowed on as fasta they could, expecting
to find him dead at the bottom Of the
mountain. Hewas not hurt, but wanted
40 more races down the mountain side.
The arrival at Central was a great
event for that little mountain city.
The miners turned out to honor the
+
General, and from every housetop
bunting was displayed. Arrangements
were made. to entertain the party at
the Teller House. The bankers Of Gil
pin County had met and decided that
the General should walk over q pave
ment Of pure gold. Enough gold
bricks were in the different bank vaults
20 make a pavement two feet wide
from the main entrance Of the Teller.
House to the curbing where the stage
would stop. 1t was put down on the
morning Of the day Of his arrival, and
when the door Of the coach was opened
the General stepped out on solid gold,

THE Northwestern Miller in its issue
Of Friday, says: AS a result of the ex-
tremely low water Of last week, the
-four output fell off to some extent, but
still was comparatively large. The
total product for the week ending De
ceuaber II, was 10000 barrels averag-
inc 1888 barrels daily-against $780,
500 barrels The previous week, and $780,
700 barrels for the corresponding time
in 1886. The weather remains compar-
itively open and mild, and the water
power seems 50 be not without some
Improvement. This has enabled the
water mills 10 run better, and with
those possessing steam driving along at
strong, gait, the output is likely 20
show an increase the current week.
There were fourteen mills running to-
DAY, eight Of which were being driven
by steam. A mill Of 1900 barrels capa-
city closes down Saturday for month,
to make repairs, but Others idle for
some time past are expected to begin
work soon after. Christmas coming On
